The play explores the life and turbulent career of Frank Hardy, a traveling faith healer, as he roams through Scotland and Wales with his wife Grace and manager Teddy, offering the promise of miracles to the sick and suffering. Through a series of four monologues delivered by the three characters, the audience is immersed in their complex relationships, the unreliable nature of memory, and the struggle between hope and disillusionment. Each character provides a conflicting version of their shared history, revealing the layers of truth and self-deception that surround Frank's dubious gift and their collective fate, culminating in a haunting examination of the human condition and the elusive nature of faith.
